Knockin' On Heaven's Door
Garcia shines on this one, fluid beautiful lead lines, listen to the audience recording

Promised Land
New #1 version--all time best. This is a stretched-out jam-fest for a song usually given the quick-off. Killer fills from Hornsby. MUST HEAR!

Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
Astonishingly strong Jerry vocals, especially given the year, and some of the prettiest Hornsby-led fills make this one a real great sleeper pick.

Picasso Moon
Another tap into the energy that surges from this show, we get to see the fun thanks to a clean Vood vid. Be there now.

Loser
the organ music blends perfectly with Jerry's guitar, the solo is perfect. This version aint got no chance of losin

New Minglewood Blues
A strong, underrated show, though even the vid can't come close to capturing the MS(ener)G

Row Jimmy
Surprised not to see this here. Jerry is playing beautifully and Hornsby adds another dimension. Sparkling.

The Wheel
Maybe just another Wheel, but this show, especially after the Lay Me Down, felt to be all about recovering after saying good-bye to Brent.....
